I’ve got the same basic app that I’d like to run on a couple domains.  
It’s very simple and the functionality would stay the same, but  
templates would be different. I was wondering if there’s a way I can  
just run one instance of the app so that I don’t have to have multiple  
fcgi processes for each site. Is that a good approach for something  
like a simple blog? This way it wouldn’t take much memory at all.  
How would I go about ensuring that requests use the correct database,  
and how about handling different templates?
